Mine (Netscape 7.2) is set up (by me) for bottom posting. I simply hit & started typing. The only time I end up on a line with a previous bar/karet is occasionally when I'm trimming a previous post. It's always obvious & easy to correct. I prefer chronological order, but I try to conform to previous posts if I'm #3 or later (except here, of course). This stuff really is a problem on this list; far more than any other that I frequent. Colors & stuff are interesting, but when someone starts typing on the same bar/karet and a 2nd person re-uses a previous color, and some are inserting text & others are top posting while still others are bottom posting while....electronic Tower of Babel. Enough of that. Let's talk about something people aren't so passionate about, like red state/blue state or foreign policy. ;-) Charlie
